[Spotlight] The Blood Drop That Reads Your Body's Real Age | KPsphere

A single drop of blood — collected at home via finger-prick — can now reveal how fast your cells are actually aging. Steve Horvath's 2013 methylation clock, now cited over 7,200 times, spawned an entire field of biological age diagnostics. Today, fourth-generation clocks like GrimAge and DunedinPACE predict all-cause mortality beyond what your birth certificate ever could — and the cost per test has dropped below $50.
